[Proposed method for double-blind study of reflexotherapy phenomena]. 1980

F Ceccherelli, and F Ambrosio, and G Manani, and L Zanardi, and P Giusti

The Authors report their experience with the placebo, an essential step in the clinical study of reflexotherapy. They assert that also in this branch of medicine it is possible to carry out a "double blind" clinical experimentation by means of placebo, that is, an essential condition in order to develop a scientific assessment of both the limits and the potentialities of reflexotherapy.
